"Reasor’s program allows customers to stretch their grocery dollars further and help ease budget worries caused by poor economic conditions."
The program will be available at all Reasor’s Food Stores. Customers who are interested in exchanging their economic stimulus tax rebate check should present their check at our Customer Service Center from May 1, 2008 through July 31, 2008.

For example, if a customer has a tax stimulus rebate check of $450.00, the customer will receive a Reasor’s gift card valued at $325.00 and the remaining $150.00 will be returned to the customer.
